Gorgeous sunshine, tasty burgers and HUM music makes for an awesome volunteer appreciation BBQ. That’s exactly what we had at the Residence for Independent Living Society in False Creek on Wednesday. We were invited here last year and we were more than happy to come play again for the volunteers and residents this year (plus[…]

We all know that music and makeup make a pretty awesome team. This time, the folks at Beauty Night Society teamed up with us to make their Beauty Night even more beautiful … if only it was because we had the one and only Don Tran there. So who is Beauty Night Society? They are[…]

“Sunday morning rain is fallin…” Hang on a sec. Did that guy beside me just sing the song I’m singing in my head? OMG did the whole skytrain start singing the song?! Are these people all psychic??? I sure hope they didn’t hear me think to myself how cute the director of communications looked…That’s how[…]

“Sunday morning rain is falling…” What better way to spend a rainy Sunday than to serenade seniors with sweet love songs? Our volunteers gathered together in front of a great audience at Windermere Care Centre, home to over 200 residents.

An awesome afternoon at the Ronald McDonald House, that’s what. We[…]

Complete back-to-back events: check. Whaaaat? Yes, that is right. HUM managed TWO events within 4 hours. We were given a chance to perform for the residents of Brock Fahrni, many of whom were veterans, on the same day where we performed at Ronald McDonald House. What was awesome was that we had FOUR musicians make[…]

I promised a lot of events this month and I was not kidding around. Right after our event for the MS Society, we got busy with another event in the Downtown Eastside at the First United Church. As you can see, we were very welcome there!
Being on a weekday, our[…]

An early Sunday morning (like really really early) is usually a good time to a) sleep, b) sleep or c) sleep. But it’s an even better time to get together by the fields in Garry Point to play music for an incredible cause, which is exactly what Wishbone did (with the help of Sally, Steven,[…]

While the event itself was over two months ago, I couldn’t give up the chance to write about the biggest event HUM has had to date. When the fantastic people at The Lipstick Project teamed up with us, we all knew something special was in the works. That something special turned into an incredible night[…]
